A. We’re named after Mt. Moriah, a ridge in Jerusalem. Presently, it is home to the Dome of the Rock. It is believed to be the biblical location that Abraham took his son Jacob to be sacrificed. In addition, archaeological data suggests it was the location that Christ was crucified. Lastly, Masonic custom states that King Solomon’s Temple was built on top of Mt. Moriah.
